Has anyone heard of XanGo juice?

Well, I hadn't until @ 30 mins ago! Someone named Carrie Lenahan from Ohio called me and said Hi, My name is Carrie and I'm in Ohio and I'm on your website right now. I was thinking that she must be ordering from a show so I said okay great, whose friend are you? She never did say how she got to my website, I guess she's just entering names until she scores.....anyhow, she goes on to say that she's a huge PC fan and was at a party last month where....get this part....the host served this XanGo juice when they served the recipe and she was so impressed with it that she became a consultant and was hoping that I'd like to collaborate with her and serve this at all my PC parties and that we could work together. Um, I don't think so!

Anyhow, thought I'd throw this out to you all incase she happens across your PWS and calls you too.

Incase you are interested, I googled it and the official website is: http://supermangosteen.com/index.html
 
EERRGGHH!&%*$()_@(#

Linda-I was just coming on to put out the warning. That really creeps me out that she is on here and going to our websites and getting our phone numbers.
What did you say to her?
 
The thing about Xango, is that it is $15 a bottle. You have to spend $100 for their recommended program, or so I am to understand.
 
Wow - That is pretty bold We sell Mangosteen at my store. Wonder what exactly makes it Super Mangosteen

Carrie in Ohio - You do not need to call me

That is what she said. $100 for 4 bottles!!!!!!:eek:
 
I have a friend who signed up to sell this stuff a few years ago when it first came out. I don't think she has made a dime but I do know she dumped a ton of $ into it.
 
Thankfully she hasn't called me! That stuff is supposed to cure cancer :rolleyes: Are you kidding? We have them out here too...
 
Good to know - so we have been warned if she calls.....THAT is the kind of marketing that I HATE!!!

So....Carrie dear, if you are on here trolling for people to call - you can count me out!:D

I was polite and said that I was not interested. It didn't dawn on me that she was cruising CS to get names and look us up......creepy! I've got her number on CID, maybe I should call her back.

Well it dawned on me when she started the conversation by saying she was on my website and then started talking about this juice or whatever it is.
Pretty slick-or at least she thinks so. Then she started asking me about who this Paige person was. EEWW-she creeped me out.
 
Thanks for the heads up ladies! That's pretty bold to go searching this site for our personal info. Guess it's just more proof that anything on the internet is public knowledge....ethical or not!!
 
Hi Carrie!
Don't waste your dime calling me...I am not interested! But if you'd like a great job, I'd be happy to get you started selling PC!

She didn't ask me about Paige. Ya know, not matter how desperate I might be for sales, I would NEVER do anything like that. If I don't have some sort of relationship with you or you didn't voluntarily give me your number (or maybe someone you now did:p ) there is no way that I'd call you.

Actually, if you are on the National "Do Not Call" list (as I am) it is illegal for you to be called for marketing purposes unless there is a prior relationship.

Oh, I am on the DNC list....wish I had thought of that one!

Carrie if you are still cruising around on here you better be careful who you call girlfriend.......
 
Thanks for the heads up.
 
I am on the National Do Not Call list. What could I do about it?
 
She got me tonight. I was all excited thinking that she was a customer and I was getting an online order. GRrrrrrrr.

Should we send Greg & Deb her name and number? Is there anything that they can do about her?

This is her: http://gettherushnow.com/default.aspx
 
As a sideline... I have used Xango ... not the one mentioned here... and it has done wonders for me with leveling out hormone levels and HUGE help with joint issues... but.. if you want to know more... PM me ... I shall not say more here. :)
 
I did NOT say any of that to talk you into anything... I just found a much cheaper avenue :)
 
I do know about Xango. My dh's former classmate got him into it. It is great stuff but very pricey. We are distributors (she signed us up when he ordered a case) but not actively selling it...primarily for personal consumption.
 
btw...I am not defending what this gal Carrie did...that was a very bold move but that is what is considered a "cold call". It is basically one step above (in the boldness category) of sending out blind fliers, post cards, or whatever business lit to people whom you don't know through phone directories, assessors, etc.

I thought about reporting her on the DNC website.....since she's harvesting phone numbers out here maybe she'll read this and get a little education in phone etiquette.....
 
I have heard of Xango It is made here in Utah along with all the other health drinks out there. My husband takes MonVie which is very simaliar.

If she calls any more of us maybe we should ask her what products she bought at the PC show she supposedly went to and how does she like them. Just to see what she says.

Also isn't it against PC rules to promote another product at your kitchen shows?

Yes, it is. Besides being a bad idea anyway, because if customers spend their money on the beverage, they have less to spend on PC, and then the host loses out.

Yup, that's right on the money Ann!! On a side note, I don't agree with what this lady is doing but she might not know it is wrong:rolleyes: I hope those of you who she has contacted have let her know so. Sometimes people do things without really thinking them through.;)
 
What the heck is it? Is it a fruit juice? Is it good? They have a booth every Thursday at my Farmer's Market that sells that stuff.
